while to an extent I concur that GDC doesn't seem like it would be ARG appropriate, it's still a possibility. At least until we know more.

I guess what I'm saying is we shouldn't rule anything out completely. Thankfully the list of upcoming Cons is relatively short (I think maybe 6 or 7 in the next two weeks, across the continent.)

I'm going over all the .jpgs from the site. The only thing that's jumped out at me so far are the banners for each tab:

board.jpg
397x157

future.jpg
338x157

heritage.jpg
382x157

investment.jpg
499x159

news.jpg
955x157

offices.jpg
394x157

investment.jpg is 2 more pixels taller, and for some reason the news.jpg one is super wide.

I have starred out the particular piece of data I'm referring to so I'm not accused of cheating. Several of these functiosn appear to be undefined within the page. Those that are defined, I have given their definitions. I realize this doesn't say much, but it's an action from the main page. I think what it's saying is something like if it receives he string "*****" to check witht he server and verify it to be true.

private function _2011a61b() : void
{
;
_2011a21b._20114101b(_2011971b, "*********", _2011ac1b, true);
return;
;
}// end function

cardbase/action/main

2011a61b???
2011a21b server request
20114101b ???
2011971b string
*********- ???
2011ac1b ????

I don't think it's cheating.
(and i hate to bring it up but...) during TDK we had a flash game that there was no obvious solution to. It took a player cracking open the flash program and finding the "winning combination" in the code... and 42E did not come out and slap our wrists...

The objective is to solve the games by any means necessary... so if that means a li'l hacker style action, then so be it.

as they say...
GIT-R-DONE!

My attitude is that I've never even installed a Flash decompiler because I don't need to know how to break the game.
So far (that I know of), nobody's done more than put "shame on you" messages in their flash projects and I've never seen Flash used with the specific intent that it would should be "hacked".

I'd prefer to play the game the way it was intended to be played, don't care if I get bragging rights about "finding" something and don't need to cause additional grief for the creators.

That said... If I truly thought the puzzle du jour intended for the Flash to be hacked, I'd download that decompiler, without hesitation.

I've been "wrist slapped" before for Flash decompilation. More than once, actually.

and what about the rumor of Alan Bradley being at the press conference?
